Dearest Diary,

There was much to anticipate today. While I would normally attend services on the morrow in the company of Mother and Father, I instead attended such a service this evening with a most dear friend, as we were eager to hear the stories of a former criminal who has in fact changed his course of life for the better. My friend and I were not disappointed in our hope to be quite amused.

Following his sermon, we were introduced to the gentleman and were invited to keep in touch through a courier by the name of Twitter. My friend is not typically one to pursue such correspondence, but I shall indeed accept his offer. I found his story quite engaging and astounding.

As for my recreation, today, I was able to spend another afternoon engaged in the comfort and scenery of the gardens. Again, I had required the company of my faithful hound, and I'm sure she was delighted to join me in such exercise. However, she has spent the chief of the afternoon in such a drowsy state that it's possible that she requires a bit more exercise as of late. I would not like to think I have put her in a lazy attitude in her older age. The canine breed ought to be more agile I should think.

Apart from the stories that were told at the services this evening, I was delighted to find once again that there seemed to be many a young man who arrived unaccompanied to the services, even in fact on a Saturday evening. One would hope that there are eligible gentlemen in a community that would attend the services alone, but I am impressed that they would do so on such an evening.

This means however, that there will be little hope of such a gathering unless I chance to repeat it tomorrow...
